摘要
This paper reviews the theoretical rationale that has been advanced so far for a positive relationship between multinationality (i.e. international diversification) and performance. We show that transaction cost/internalization theory implies no direct and general relationship between international diversification and performance. © Gabler Verlag 2007.
